then my racket broke...

A popular phrase in Ireland, mainly kildare and Sligo. To be used if a quick change of conversation is needed. Also used to break an awkward silence, or to break tension. Originates from when a man named Sean was playing in the badminton club championship final, and in the dying moments his racket broke, the strings snapping. After the match he was insulting his opponent to his coach, when the opponent walked into the conversation. 'Did you see my when racket brake?' Sean said.
EXAMPLE 1
Sean: Chris is so smelly.
David: Yeah I Know.
{Chris walks over into the conversation}
Chris: Hi guys
Sean: eh yeah and then my racket broke.

EXAMPLE 2
You are on a bus with many strangers. There is an awkward silence. It can be broken by exclaiming to you friend 'Yeah so then my racket broke...'. It eases the tension and is very useful.
